(I don't use org mode or Kate. Love Kate, but prefer vim.) At least one person's set Kate up for org mode.

Another take, from a more recent Blue Systems / Techpaladin developer: https://akselmo.dev/posts/bluesystems-to-techpaladin/

I find it interesting that the correct link for this post was: https://akselmo.dev/posts/plasma-6-and-me/
But when linked from HackerNews, the URL doesn't work.
Maybe a bug on referrer tracking on akselmo.dev?
